Noah’s Raft

Country: nigeria

Runtime: 10m

From a young age, Noah Shemede believed that his destiny was in the water. His father, brothers, and uncles were all fishermen, and their fathers before them. This is the life of the average male in Makoko, Africa’s largest floating slum.

But after going to a school in the city, Noah returns with a dream – to use education to transform the lives of the children living in Makoko. But it is not an easy task.

In a country that is ranked as the poverty capital of the world, has the world’s highest number of out of school children, and has millions of its populace reeling under the impact of COVID-19, Noah’s Raft is an inspiring story of one man’s desire to bring change to his community.
